Many times in the passing years have I heard people say: “Wait till I have made enough money and then I want to devote my entire time to humanitarian work.” And I have watched and waited and I have never seen one of them acquire what he considered enough to enable him to relax and devote himself to the really useful side of life. Yet many of them have made what the world calls “wealth.”
When you concentrate to impress your thought-form upon the Universal, do not ask for money or wealth first. There may be a better way. Follow the rules given and picturize yourself doing the exact work you desire to do, regardless of money. The fact that you become able to do the thing you desire to do is evidence that the means for you to do so will be forthcoming. The best plan for all thought-forms is to see yourself in them doing the actual work you want to do. Then do not “cramp” the Universal by trying to impress it with the idea of just what the desire will cost or when the means shall come or through what channels. What do you care how the supply comes so long as you are doing your work? That is the big thing-the ONLY thing for you to conentrate on.
